Abstract: An expandable keyboard in accordance with the present invention provides a full-size or expanded keyboard for typing which folds to minimize size during transport or storage, and can be converted to substantially twice its folded length for use. Its use of sliding segments permits a straight hinge line for folding. Its operating mechanism supports a large number of electrical interconnections between the hinged wing section or sections and the central platform, and provides for straight-line engagement as well as environmental and ESD protection of the mating electrical connectors. It permits the operation of removable modules such as PCMCIA cards or fixed circuitry such as speakers or keypads in the wing section or sections in both their open and closed positions. It includes a central keyboard assembly and a first assembly comprising a first segment and a first wing. The central keyboard assembly includes one or more keys and a platform. The first wing is pivotally connected along one side to one side of the platform about a first axis and is pivotable to a closed position where the first wing rests substantially on the platform and to an open position where the first wing provides an extension of the platform. The first segment is slidably connected to the first wing and is moveable to a first position which exposes the first axis and permits the first wing to pivot about the first axis and to a second position which covers the first axis and substantially prevents the first wing from pivoting about the first axis. The expandable keyboard may also include a second assembly comprising a second segment and a second wing, pivotally connected along one side of the platform about a second axis, which operates in the same manner as the first wing.

Abstract: The present invention, as noted above, relates generally to the incorporation of plasmid into a conventional dosage form, and more particularly to the production of a single-vial, homogenized, plasmid/polymer complex with desirable physical characteristics. Methods of making, storing and using such a complex are also provided and described in detail below. Such products and methods will provide more convenient and cost-effective complexes, which will be protected against chemical degradation and/or physical aggregation of its components and will provide for relative ease of administration. Thus, the present invention provides a more efficient complex for plasmid delivery and a method of incorporation of that plasmid into a conventional dosage form.

Abstract: A bicycle (32) includes a seat (20) having a support stem (22), a roller bearing support member (24), a flexible support arm (26), a pair of pivot joints (28), and a pair of seat members (30). The pivot joints (28) comprise ball and socket joints which allow the seat members to pivot about respective sets of axes (X',Y',Z' or X'',Y'',Z''). Further pivoting motion is provided by the roller bearing support member (24), flexible support arm (26), and by allowing the support arm (26) to pivot. The pivoting motion of the seat members (30) permits the proper range of motion in the rider's (34) sacroiliac joint (D, E) to maintain the flow of CSF in the rider's neurological anatomy thereby enhancing strength and stamina.

Abstract: The present invention provides experimentally-generated cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses comprising at least one genome segment of such an equine influenza virus, wherein the equine influenza virus genome segment confers at least one identifying phenotype of the cold-adapted equine influenza virus, such as cold-adaptation, temperature sensitivity, dominant interference, or attenuation. Such viruses are formulated into therapeutic compositions to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A viruses, and in particular, to protect horses from disease caused by equine influenza virus. The present invention also includes methods to protect animals from diseases caused by influenza A virus utilizing the claimed therapeutic compositions. Such methods include using a therapeutic composition as a vaccine to generate a protective immune response in an animal prior to exposure to a virulent virus, and using a therapeutic composition as a treatment for an animal that has been recently infected with a virulent virus, or is likely to be subsequently exposed to virulent virus in a few days whereby the therapeutic composition interferes with the growth of the virulent virus, even in the absence of immunity. The present invention also provides methods to produce cold-adapted equine influenza viruses, and reassortant influenza A viruses having at least one genome segment of an equine influenza virus generated by cold-adaption.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a thread clamping arrangement for a carrier gripper on a rapier loom. The thread clamping arrangements known from the state of the art, e.g. the ones shown in EP-0477129 and EP-0584429, are very susceptible to wear of the parts contacting the thread, which causes the attracting force to vary considerably over time, and futhermore their adaptation to the linear density of the weft thread processed proves very difficult. For eliminating these disavantages the present invention provides that the two clamping elements (8,9) of the clamping arrangement, which are laid out as small plates, be pressed against each other under the influence of the attracting force exerted onto both small plates by a magnet (10). Owing to the present invention better clamping conditions are obtained in the clamping arrangement, which is particularly important if glass multifilament, and similar filament threads are processed, and in particular the danger of fibril breakages at the moment of release of the weft thread (11) from the clamping arrangement is eliminated, i.e. at the moment of transfer of the thread (11) from the carrier gripper to the pulling gripper of the rapier loom. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Porous members can be positioned so as to partially or fully span channels in microfluidic systems. The porous members can be assembled and/or disassembled in situ. The porous members can be made such that pores are separated by connections including but a single molecule at one location, allowing for a high level of open area in a very small pore size member. The porous member can be made up of colloid particles interconnected with molecular species. These can be used to detect analytes qualitatively and/or quantitatively, or to selectively bind and/or release agents on command for a variety of purposes including first blocking, then opening a channel, concentrating analyte over time followed by release of analyte and detection downstream, etc. Porous members can define valves in multiple-channel systems and, with controlled binding and release of agents at the porous members, these valves can be opened and closed and fluid flow controlled in a multi-channel system. Fluidic systems of the invention can include multiple sensing locations at which different analytes are determined. Systems of the invention provide flexibility for overall microchemical analysis, sequentially, of a variety of agents.
